thanks space, my buddy drove it the night i got it and he said it drove like a big go kart XD, i went from power everything in my monte and 4 wheel disc brakes to power NOTHING (except for the sunroof) in the crx lol. manual windows. steering. and front disc and rear drums.

and i lucked out on the crx, the guy i got it from stripped it down and re painted it. ive looked everywhere i can and still havent found any rust yet lol

Oh, I completely understand. You opened the door...I was just banging on it a little. After tuning up my Monte (3.8) I saw an average of 22 mpg with 95% of it city and 5% highway. With the new downpipe/cat and the CAI I am now seeing an average of 23.5mpg under the same circumstances. It was getting around 19mpg when I first bought it prior to the tune up. If I did all highway driving I'll bet I could get close to 30mpg out of it. I don't drive like a little old lady, but I don't jump on the gas pedal all the time or jack rabbit start from every stop light either. Since you're commuting to college it only makes sense to put a set of economic wheels under you.
